Rear archs rolled
Hi everyone, has anyone got any pictures of how far along they have gone along the rear arch rolling it please?
Due to the shape of the arch and having no rear beam and wheels on the car I'm struggling to picture how far to go rolling the arch.
Thanks
Phil
No photos, but i went to when the lips starts to curve down at the front. and i think just before the start of the bumper on the rear bit.
Make sure you seal them up after, stop the water getting in.
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
As far back as possible, I've found it's normally the rear bit by the bumper where it goes tight.
You can maintain a full looking lip at the front
perfect thanks, thats just what i was after.
Cheers benn i will do it just looks like a very vunerable place.
What's the best thing to use other than buying a arch rolling tool? Iam up to the stage of wanting to roll my arches.
If the arch lip is just single skin you could just grind it back and leave something like 5mm on if that's enough clearance. It would save rolling it and worrying about sealing it up as it would only need a tiny bit of water to get in then it wouldn't get out and just rust.
No its not single skin just replaced inner aswell. Just wondering what people have dine with theirs
You will struggle to roll a straight arch with an arch roller, better off just bending the return up and knocking it flat with some sealer in there.
Will give that a go just have to make sure it's sealed well after. Cheers
Do not grind them what ever you do . the rear arch will loose its shape and look warped and will rust in no time. . as mensioned if they aint painted already just start them off witha pair of pannel grips then tap it all back with a nylon hammer.
